Do you remember how Sitecore configuration files for multiple environments and server configurations were handled? Times, when files needed to be removed during deployment process, renamed, overwritten or transformed? These times are definitively out!

In previous article, I covered some basic stuff related to Sitecore and PaaS topic. And as promised, now we will deep into installing Sitecore 9.0 into Azure. At first step, we will focus on installation requirements.

Installation will be covered from very beginning steps in manual mode (so, we will not use prepared images available on Azure marketplace), which allows us to customize our sitecore installation.

As second solution, there are prepared Sitecore images in Azure Marketplace, which are ready for “few click” installation.
